Chapter 11： September course

During this period, Schelling’s homework and studies did not fall in the slightest. This semester’s curse class focused on spiritual magic, which is Schelling’s best field—as Schelling delved into "Abatel Volume 1" The magic spells passed on to the Malfoy family, the spiritual magic can be said to be casually in Schelling's hands, sway freely, without any difficulty.

In the activities of the 　　 Magic Club, Schelling published a research paper on using the pleasure spell to enhance the power of the patron saint spell. The perspective of this paper is very novel, and even Professor Flivy is full of praise. With Schelling’s permission, the paper was revised by Professor Flivy and the two were jointly published on "The Curse Innovation".

Unexpectedly, this paper caused great repercussions in the academic world—Defense Against the Dark Arts League chairman Ulysse Hickst wrote a letter to Schelling, expressing that the league is willing to buy Schelling’s hands on this. In addition to paying a considerable amount of Jin Jialong for all the research notes of, Sherin will also be awarded the honorary membership of the Defense Against the Dark Arts League; Gulana Kropatra, the chairman of the Medieval European Wizarding Federation, will not fall behind. Later, at the same time that a higher amount of Jin Jialong was issued, the medal of "Wizard Scholar Contribution Award" was also awarded. This medal not only allowed Schelling to enter the library of the Federation headquarters in Sardinia, but also received A place for the "European Dueling Competition".

The All-Europe Dueling Competition is organized by a mysterious organization called "Silver Spear". Silver Spear is a secret duel club in the 18th century. It is said to be organized by a group of friends in the dueling sport. The four founders The magic wands are all made of aspen wood, so the early organizations had very strict requirements for membership, and only wizards who used aspen wands were eligible.

By the middle of the 20th century, Silver Spear relaxed the membership requirements. As long as they have outstanding performance in any international level duel competition, they may be invited to join Silver Spear. Although I don't know the specific benefits of joining Silver Spear, Xie Lin knows that many famous wizards are eager for it, and it is not difficult to guess that there must be unexpected benefits.

Schelling pondered over and over again, and consulted Professor Flivy and Lucius on this issue, and finally chose to accept the conditions of the Medieval European Wizards’ Association. Mainly because the competition places in the European Dueling Competition attracted Schelling, having this place can save Schelling from participating in the selection of layers of time, and Professor Flivy also looks forward to Schelling’s performance in the duel competition. I specially sent Schelling the duel notes that he wrote when he was young. This notebook is full of exclusive spells and exclusive dueling skills he developed by himself. As a former duel champion, his notes are obviously very precious.

And this semester’s transformation class focuses on the transformation technique that turns dead objects into small animals. Professor McGonagall’s topic is to turn a teapot into a tortoise. Schelling could do it as early as when he participated in the Merlin test last semester. McGonagall Therefore, the professor directly exempted Xie Lin from all homework and only asked Xie Lin to participate in the activities of the Transformation Club every week.

Incidentally, Schelling has two more papers selected for publication in "Transfiguration Today". The readers of "Transfiguration Today" are not limited to the British wizarding world. Now Schelling has also begun to gain some popularity on the international stage. Some well-known figures in the field of metamorphology did not hesitate to write letters to give him some guidance for this promising rising star, such as the Chinese master of metamorphosis Zhang Yu.

Zhang Hao’s ancestor was Zhang Guo, a famous man in the Tang Dynasty. He once left the legend of "Old Zhang Guo" in the Muggle world, but he is actually a wizard, and his best at turning paper pieces into live donkeys Transfiguration. Xie Lin has benefited a lot from the communication with him. The two have also become friends with each other in their frequent communication. Zhang He also specially gave Xie Lin a Chinese wizarding world's transfiguration secret book "Bianbian". "Thousand Magical Jue", although this book is written in Chinese characters, Zhang He thoughtfully attached English annotations to it, which Xie Lin is very grateful for.

"Hundred Changes Thousands of Magic Techniques" won!

The potions class this semester is quite difficult. In addition to the shrinking potions in the first week of school, another interesting potion class is Confusing. The ingredients of the confusion potion are sneezeweed, scurvy and lovage, all herbs that can heat the brain. After drinking, the effect is similar to that of the confusion curse, but it is better than the confusion curse. In addition to affecting the thinking ability, the confusion potion can also affect the mood, making the user reckless and impulsive. As long as it is used properly, it can definitely achieve miraculous effects.

Schelling knew that Snape had a good personal relationship with his father Lucius, and in private he did not go to Professor Snape for some advanced potion issues, such as why Neville's shrinking potion can make creatures regress to their infancy. Can this be applied to humans to keep people young? For another example, what is the difference between Essence of Insanity and Essence of Insanity, even if both are used to confuse the mind and make people make wrong decisions?

Snape turned against the usual cold personality, well, although he still had a cold face, but at least he patiently explained these advanced content to Schelling one by one, and he did not express it because Schelling advanced learning. Show any objections.

What surprised Schelling most was that Snape also gave Schelling the potions he wrote in his school days. The notes were his notes when preparing for the OWL proficiency test, although there was no "Mixed-Blood Prince's Potions Notes". Great, but very practical for Schelling at this stage. Xie Lin even saw many improvements to the potion preparation steps in the textbook inside. If this knowledge spreads outside, it will probably cause a big disturbance in the potion world.

Snape saw Schelling’s potential as early as the duel club last semester. The senior Lucius, who has a good relationship with him, asked himself to take care of the Malfoy twins in several letters.

Fortunately, Draco said that Schelling was so good that McGonagall and Flitwick were the first to be accepted as protégés in the first grade. Although he also has that meaning, he is usually used to maintaining a high-cold personality. , I really can't take the initiative to take care of Xie Lin. Seeing Xie Lin and the two professors' increasingly close teacher-student relationship, I can only worry about it. Now Xie Lin took the initiative to ask himself for advice, which was a sigh of relief.

Snape’s primary potion note is obtained!

No one really likes to protect the magical animals lesson. After the first class full of excitement, this class becomes particularly boring. Hagrid seemed to have lost confidence. Now they learn how to take care of Flobber caterpillars from lesson to lesson.

Flobberworm is a brown worm that is 10 inches long and has no teeth. This creature likes to eat lettuce, but in fact it eats almost all plants. The content of this kind of course is completely meaningless, because they like to be alone, do nothing, and do not need too much care. Blindly feeding will cause them to eat too much and die.

It's not just Slytherin's little snakes who are so depressed, but Ron, who has a good relationship with Hagrid, also complains frequently.

This semester's herbal medicine class focuses on learning to take care of bubble pods. Puffapod is a magical plant. A plump pink pod can grow on its branches. The task of the little wizard is to peel the pink bean pods, take out the shiny beans, and put them in a wooden barrel. These beans are very sensitive and will bloom as soon as they hit a solid object.

During this process, Schelling found that his strength and agility did not bring him much advantage. Instead, it was more important to be able to maintain a stable and non-trembling gesture for a long time.

In this regard, girls will have an advantage. Mori shared her know-how with Xie Lin. She loves embroidery, knitting, and painting, so she can use her wrist dexterously without accidentally shaking the beans. Schelling, Daphne, and Meredith also slowly realized the essentials under Murray's guidance.

The big-handed Gore and Crabbe are tragic—the two have scattered beans on the floor of the greenhouse more than once, and the beans on the ground bloom in an instant before their eyes. Although the blooming flowers were very bright and beautiful, Professor Sprout's face flushed with anger was not good, so that Slytherin was deducted points, and Gore and Crabbe were also imprisoned.

Schelling’s performance in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is also remarkable. Professor Lu Ping did not dare to treat this student who was able to fight the two dementors head-on, but he did not dare to take it lightly, and Schelling did what he expected to show in the class. Show his dazzling strength.

The first lesson of Defense Against the Dark Arts is Bogut, Schelling easily turns Bogut into a smiling face; the second lesson is Red Hat, Schelling doesn’t know how many he has solved in the Forbidden Forest; the third is Kappa in Japan, also called Kappa, is a reptile that lives in water. It looks like a monkey with scaly, with webbed hands. It likes to hide in a pond and choke unsuspecting people who pass by.

This doesn’t bother Schelling. Kabbah, like the Red Hat, can only create danger when the wizard is unprepared. So as long as you detect the presence of Kabbah with a "trace revealing" spell before entering the water, use a drying spell. Drying the water on the Kaba's skull is enough to scare it away-Kaba's strength comes from the water on the skull, and losing that water will make it weak.

Schelling’s favorite course is alchemy. Professor Ibinos Bock is a retired elderly alchemist from the ancient Bock family. His knowledge of alchemy is very solid and broad, and he has a strange temper like a scientist. He is very serious when teaching. He was willing to go out to teach this time, because Lucius paid an adult's favor, and pointed out that he only teaches Schelling this grade, not like other professors who need to be responsible for teaching students in seven grades.

Due to the small number of people, the alchemy class is taught by four colleges together. Perhaps it’s because Professor Bock came from Luciusto. The students in the alchemy class are basically Slytherin. Under Schelling’s call, all Slytherin second-year students have taken this course as an elective; Hatch There are only Ernie McMillan and Susan Burns in Pachi’s students; Ravenclaw has Michael Corner, Terry Butt, Mori McDougal and Lisa Dupin. Students.

There are no students in Gryffindor. I heard that the relationship between alchemy classes and the Malfoy family has been spread in Gryffindor, so most people are not interested—maybe the thirsty Hermione is a An exception, but in order to take care of her friend Ron's mood, she also resolutely chose to abandon this course. In fact, she was actually overwhelmed after taking 12 courses, which is one of the reasons why she gave up the alchemy class.

The content of the alchemy course is not as exciting as imagined. The students neither had the opportunity to practice alchemy, nor did they have access to the legendary and legendary alchemy items.

On the contrary, the knowledge of alchemy taught by Professor Bok is very basic theory—starting from the alchemy theory of ancient Egypt, not only must have a deep understanding of celestial phenomena and geology, but also memorize various magic materials and magic metals. Characteristics; and then derived from the theory of the transformation of matter and magic proposed by European alchemists in the Middle Ages. This theory believes that certain words are magical and can be further immortalized by engraving Guruuni charms on alchemical objects. The effect of alchemy.

This knowledge sounds boring and seems to have no practical use, but it is just right for Schelling.

Schelling's own alchemy is directly learned from Nico Lemay, the most powerful alchemist in centuries. It is a pity that Nico is not a good teacher. He has learned too much, so that a word or a truth he said requires a long time before Xie Lin can understand the principle behind it.

Not to mention, Nicol’s legacy to Schelling—the alchemy notes in Le May’s address book are Nicol’s essays on weekdays. They have never been systematically sorted out, and they look very scattered and messy. There are so many contents that make Schelling bewildered in reading, and he has to ask Nico Lemay several times before he can barely understand it.

Hogwarts’ alchemy course just made up for Schelling’s weak foundation. By systematically relearning the basics of alchemy, many of the puzzles in the past have also become clear.

Schelling did not forget his commitment to Daphne, and when he had free time, he pointed out Astoria's homework and gave her some academic help, making Astoria the most dazzling student in the first grade. The relationship between Schelling and Astoria gradually became familiar.
